Your kitchen is the most demanding space in your home. In Singapore's humid climate, the difference between a well-designed kitchen storage system and basic carpentry becomes obvious within months. We design custom kitchen cabinets for HDB, condo, and landed homes — built to last 15+ years.

Common Kitchen Problems in Singapore Homes (HDB / Old Kitchens)

Singapore's unique climate and housing conditions create specific challenges for kitchen storage. Most local carpenters still build kitchen cabinets the same way they did 20 years ago — shelves, doors, and basic hinges. That's not a storage system — that's a box waiting to fail.

Humidity & Mould Growth

Singapore's 80%+ humidity destroys poorly sealed kitchen cabinets. Under-sink areas develop mould, cabinet interiors smell musty, and board surfaces deteriorate — especially in older HDB kitchens with poor ventilation.

Under-Sink Cabinet Swelling

The cabinet below your sink is constantly exposed to moisture. With standard E1 boards and EVA edge banding, swelling and delamination start within 2-3 years. The board literally falls apart from water damage.

Edge Banding Peeling

Traditional EVA hot-melt edge banding cannot withstand Singapore's humidity and kitchen heat. Once it starts peeling, moisture enters the board core, accelerating deterioration and creating hygiene issues.

Termite Risk

Singapore's tropical climate makes termite infestation a real concern. Low-quality boards and poor sealing create entry points. Proper material selection and edge banding are essential for long-term protection.

Old Kitchen Renovation Traps

Renovating a 15-20 year old HDB kitchen? Common traps include: hidden water damage behind cabinets, outdated plumbing that needs rerouting, and contractors who quote low but charge extras for "unexpected" issues.

HDB vs Condo Differences

HDB kitchens have specific layouts and ceiling heights. Condos often have different structural requirements and developer-provided cabinets that prioritise appearance over function. Each needs a different approach.

Local Carpenter vs CASAWAVE: What's the Difference?

Typical Local Approach
  • E1 boards or unspecified grade
  • Manual EVA edge banding (peels in humidity/heat)
  • 5-9mm thin backboards
  • Generic hinges, limited lifespan
  • Manual cutting with visible gaps
  • Often shows issues within 3-5 years
CASAWAVE System
  • ENF / F4 certified eco-friendly boards
  • PUR / Laser edge banding (waterproof seal)
  • 18mm solid moisture-resistant backboards
  • BLUM / REGGAR hardware, 10+ year lifespan
  • CNC precision cutting (±0.1mm tolerance)
  • Designed for 15+ years in Singapore climate

What Is a Kitchen Storage System?

A kitchen storage system is more than cabinets with doors. It's an integrated solution where materials, hardware, internal organisation, and installation work together for long-term performance. Every component is selected and designed for Singapore's demanding kitchen environment.

System ≠ Carpentry

Traditional carpentry builds boxes on-site. A storage system is factory-manufactured with CNC precision, where every component — boards, hardware, edge banding — is designed to work together as one integrated unit.

Modular Design

Each cabinet module is engineered for specific functions: base cabinets for heavy cookware, tall cabinets for pantry storage, corner solutions for awkward spaces. No wasted space, no compromises.

Moisture-Resistant Structure

Kitchen cabinets face constant moisture from cooking steam, sink splashes, and Singapore's humidity. Our system uses moisture-resistant boards, waterproof edge banding, and proper ventilation design.

Factory Precision + Local Installation

All components are precision-manufactured in our factory with CNC cutting. On-site work is assembly only — minimising dust, errors, and installation time. Most kitchens complete in 2-3 days.

Materials, Edge Banding & Hardware for Kitchens

The materials in your kitchen matter — this is where you prepare food for your family. We use only certified eco-friendly boards, industrial-grade edge banding, and premium hardware systems designed for heavy daily use in humid conditions.

ENF / F4 Eco-Friendly Boards

Your kitchen deserves the safest materials available. ENF and F4 certified boards meet the highest environmental standards — significantly better than standard E1 boards used by most local carpenters.

  • Ultra-low formaldehyde (ENF ≤ 0.025mg/m³)
  • No chemical odour — safe for food preparation
  • High-density core with excellent screw-holding
  • Moisture-resistant for kitchen environments

Why it matters for hardware: High-density boards provide the screw-holding strength that premium hardware requires. Low-quality boards cannot hold hinges and drawer runners properly — they loosen over time.

PUR / Laser Edge Banding

Edge banding is critical in kitchens — constant exposure to moisture, heat, and cleaning chemicals. Traditional EVA hot-melt edge banding fails within 2-3 years. Our PUR and laser edge banding creates a permanent waterproof seal.

  • PUR adhesive: waterproof, heat-resistant to 150°C
  • Laser edge banding: seamless, invisible joint
  • No peeling or separation in humidity/heat
  • Protects against moisture, chemicals, termites

BLUM / REGGAR Hardware

Kitchen hardware faces the heaviest daily use in your home. Drawers full of pots and pans, cabinet doors opened dozens of times daily. We use BLUM and REGGAR systems — premium brands designed for 50,000+ cycles.

  • BLUM soft-close hinges (tested 200,000 cycles)
  • REGGAR steel drawer systems (40kg+ capacity)
  • Full-extension runners for complete access
  • 10+ year lifespan with daily heavy use

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a custom kitchen storage system worth the investment?

Consider how often you use your kitchen. If you cook regularly, you interact with your storage dozens of times daily. A well-designed system makes each interaction effortless instead of frustrating. Over 15+ years of daily use, the difference in quality of life is substantial — and a quality system actually costs less than replacing cheap cabinets every 5-7 years.

What's the difference between ENF and F4 boards?

Both are high environmental standards. ENF (≤0.025mg/m³) is the strictest Chinese standard, while F4 (≤0.3mg/L) is the Japanese standard. Both are significantly better than E1 and safe for kitchen use. We use both depending on availability and specific requirements.

How long does kitchen installation take?

For a standard HDB or condo kitchen, installation typically takes 2-3 days. Larger kitchens or complex configurations may take 3-5 days. All components are pre-manufactured in our factory — on-site work is assembly only, minimising dust and disruption to your home.

Can you renovate my old HDB kitchen?

Absolutely. Old HDB kitchen renovation is one of our most common projects. We handle everything from demolition of old cabinets to installation of the new system. We also identify and address hidden issues like water damage or outdated plumbing during the process.

Why is edge banding so important for kitchens?

Kitchens face constant moisture from cooking steam, sink splashes, and cleaning. Traditional EVA edge banding peels within 2-3 years, allowing moisture into the board core. PUR and laser edge banding create a permanent waterproof seal that protects the board for the cabinet's entire lifespan.

Do you provide warranty?

Yes, we provide warranty coverage on materials, hardware, and installation. BLUM and REGGAR hardware come with manufacturer warranties. Specific warranty terms are detailed in your quotation.
